The Fly Shop Looking for Graphic Artist

From The Fly Shop:

The Fly shop is on the All-America search for a graphic artist to assist with the development of brochures, catalog, advertising and social media. Positions like this with our company are rare and what we’re looking for is someone with graphic and social media skills and also speaks fly fishing. We’re after a person who is passionate about the sport and would like to grow their professional skills in the company of one of the top teams in the fly fishing industry.

General responsibilities include assisting in graphic design, editing, advertising, brochure, and catalog layout in our print and on-line media. Too, we’re looking for someone with strong interest in expanding our social media and the ability to manage our image library.

The right person for this job needs to be able to work well with others and have the graphic arts skills and computer literacy commensurate with the job (Quark, Photoshop, CSS, Illustrator, Lightroom, etc.) and a very high level of attention to detail. Digital photography skills would enhance their resumé, but aren’t essential. The person in this position will be working with an experienced and talented Graphic Art Director and surrounded by some of the most accomplished and seasoned travel and retail personnel in the business. It is an opportunity to polish and expand skills, and to become part of one of the most respected retail and travel businesses in the fly fishing industry.

The starting salary will be competitive and relative to the scope of responsibilities and experience. While there are a number of potential travel and recreational benefits, it is a full-time, office-based job requiring a minimum of 40 hours per week. Like all full-time employees at The Fly Shop this position qualifies for health and vacation benefits. Applicants must be willing to relocate to Redding (which is one of the benefits of the job). Our community is a relatively small, rural, and wonderful place to live. We enjoy a wonderful climate, not too far from civilization, surrounded by angling opportunity and outdoor recreation.

The Fly Shop is one of the largest independent fly fishing retail, domestic, and international travel companies in the industry. We have been in business since 1978 and most of our employees have been with the company for years, some for decades. We have continued to thrive and grow since the day we opened our doors as the result of progressive spirit and a company-wide commitment to the sport. It’s a great company built and staffed by great people.
